Betsey Lou Lou Cachoo!! You make our whole world go round and I can not believe you are THREE!!! You are pure joy and sass and confidence from the second you wake up until you go to bed. You have such a special bond with each person in the household. We can not believe you will be 3. we dont want you to keep growing!!

Starting with sleep, you moved into a big girl bed and switched room at the very end of September. you took to the big girl bed like an absolute dream. don’t fall out of it, don’t get out when you shouldn’t and were very ready for it. You go to bed at night 8:30/9-7:30ish. You yell at us asking if you can get up.Sleep with a blanket and have a million to choose from. You nap most days and can be all over the page from a 1-3 hours or not napping at all. you do pretty good on no naps days, but do usually get a tad more cry-e/emotional.

When it comes to breakfast you ALWAYS ask for p-jelly (peanut butter & jelly) and usually Kyle gives in and I will do that or she will pick whatever cereal she is feeling and she is all over the page. Girlfriend like all breakfast foods – eggs/bacon/waffles/pancakes etc. Sometimes doesn’t want her Sunday morning cinnamon rolls then other Sundays doesn’t eat it. Betsey wants snacks absolutely all the time. loves apples/clementines/bananas/granola bars/goldfish/crackers. Girl LOVES candy and will eat ALL of it and hide and pound it down. Lunch she’s chill about whatever i put in front of her. Dinner she eats well too, sometimes refusing the milk – but she usually will eat because she wants a snack at night. Evening snacks she loves apple cider or popcorn. Loves treats of chocolate milk, homemade grape juice, home grown raspberries, corn on the cob,

Lou Lou is pure fun and sass and we can’t get enough. she has her daddy wrapped around her finger, tells us what she wants and is great at communicating, screams to make it clear she needs you, and keeps right up with her brothers. loves everything about her baby sister and helping her/playing with her/making her smile. Her and Duke are the best of friends and the worst of enemies. Betsey knows how to get on Duke’s nerves and bug him and work him up, and he does the same to her. they are either fighting or playing mom/dad all dang long happily. Wyatt and Betsey get along well and are both very chill together. She loves helping with baby Faye, can make her laugh, entertains her while mom works, and love the sweet voice she pulls out when talking to her.

Lou loves to play with her dollhouse, playing with all her babies, in her kitchen, whatever her brothers are doing that interests her, reading her favorite books, and always singing. When its summer she loves everything about swimming, the trampoline, sprinkler under the trampoline, helping mom in the garden, being outside playing with her brothers, riding on the cement and being with friends a lot. Loves ranger rides and usually loves her puppies but sometimes gets mad when they push her around. She loves being around out friends kids, her cousin Brynleigh, and her De Ronde cousins. She loves watching Encanto, Cocomelon, She sings and prays so monotone. She will talk your head off and prefers zero silence but is a decent whisperer.

You are completely potty trained even at night, get to start Sunday School in the new year, always talk about ” the friends at my school or we do this at my school” You make us laugh so much with all the hilarious things you say. Love to be on the go and out and about. Got to ride in the tractor with dad a lot this harvest, Like going to Crystal Fawcett for daycare 1 day a week. Loves trying on lots of outfits and mom and dads shoes. Love bathtime though we put you in the shower with mom or dad a lot to save time. love to play in the showers/with bubbles too playing with cups and dumping water.

Wearing 2t/3T super tall for your age but so so skinny that you can’t keep pants on or they are too short. Huge shoes wearing size 8. lots of space buns with and bows, not tons and tons of hair compared to other girls but have been cutting it to try to keep it healthy an growing. Doctor’s Appt Stats:
